hiraga Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 There's nothing more fustrating than posting a mile long post only to discover you've entered the wrong password! And then you hit the back button, and it's all gone!! Grrrr..... Moderators, pleeeeease fix this! I've been on other UBB powered forums that didn't have this *feature*.. Or do I have to wait until there's an eq.mag BBS V2.0?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderton Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 < And then you hit the back button, and it's all gone!! >> Which browser are you using? The system used to work like this, but now when I click on the back button using AOL (Windows, which is basically IE), the text is there and ready to relaunch.

hiraga Posted April 23, 2001 Author Share Posted April 23, 2001 Oh no.. I dunno. I'm using a komputer! I'm sitting at a local netcafe, so I'm not sure. Happens at work as well, on Netscape. It's probably me that needs an update.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny G Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 I've gotten in the habit of highlighting the text and hitting Ctrl-C before posting an item. Then you can just paste it back in if you mess up. Tiny G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Worthington Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 I've had long posts get lost, too. Sometimes, I just figure, hell, I'm not gonna bother to type it again. Ctrl+c is definitely adviseable to use (a temporary digital backup file?) when posting those long, clever ones that you know you'll never be able to get exactly right if you have to do a re-take. BTW, I have Windows, using Comcast @Home, and when I hit the Back button, the text is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudyba Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Here's a thread on this issue that I opened last year with the developers of this forum software. Unfortunately the back button behavior varies from browser to browser on different platforms and computers. There is no reliable way to force caching, or to prevent caching for that matter.

kudyba Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Yep there was a thread in George's forum a while back. On PC Netscape 4.x, the Back button seems to cache the text...

Cymbals Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 But you can put javascript to prevent resetting of the form when it reloads, which is actually what is happening behind the scenes. It's only a couple of lines, and it seems to work well. If anyone wants it, e-mail me a request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadgadget Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Using IE5 with Windows Me, the program asked me if I want it to remember my password and enter it every time I click to post. It works flawlessly, I just click in the user name box, and presto the name and password are automatically entered, too cool I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip OKeefe Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 I hate it when this happens too! I have said "awww, forget it" a couple of times after typing in a post and having the page fail to post. I've taken to copying the things "just in case" - especially if it's a long post (as most of mine are...) Hmm, experiment time: Nice short message, easily remembered.. think I'll try hitting the "back button" in mid-u/l and see what happens...

Chip McDonald Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Originally posted by kudyba: Uhh did you guys read my post from the Microsoft Knowledge Base? Translation: using IE, this phenomenon is intentional. MS is such an example of a bureaucracy ruining something. They pick so many decisions to make from a god-head standpoint that are counter-intuitive. It will be very interesting to read about the internal managerial stucture years from now. I think people will eventually conclude that human organizations, once they reach a certain criticial size, automatically start making bad decisions as a side effect of the bureaucracy. I could have just inserted a standard MS joke I guess.... ------------------ New and Improved Music Soon: http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
